Wire Wrapper Pendent.

All you need to make this wire wrapper pendent is

Beadalon 21.8mm round Artistic Wire wire wrapper

24 and 28 gauge Beadalon Artistic Wire

10 x 4mm Preciosas bicones

1 x 22mm round resin sugar stone bead

1 x necklace chain 

 Wrap the Bicones around the edge of the wire wrapper into the recesses of the wrapper, using the 28 gauge wire. Next place the sugar stone in the centre of the wire wrapper and wrap into place using the 24 gauge wire. Start the wrap on the top right leaving some spare wire to secure later. Count every 4 Bicones and wrap the wire again, continue every 4th Bicone to create the star pattern. Once the star is completed twist and tuck in loose ends at the back of the wire wrapper. Attach to necklace chain.

The pendent takes 15-20 minutes to complete.
